I finally have decided to move my strap button onto the neck plate of my Epi T. Do I loosen string tension and just go for it-or are there other things I should have on hand?(Longer screw?..etc.) Thanks

Can I take off the pick guard of a jazz bass without affecting current pickup height?

The School's Out album has some of the most juiced bass lines ever, running through them, DD put the freak in the Alice Cooper BAND. Billion $ Babies, is a good album, yet sounds un-inspired (read; musical creativity was forced to the back seat for the megalomaniacal visual aspect of the Alice...

There's far more funk in the empty spaces of phrases, than ones that are crowded with too many notes. You can't go wrong by absorbing all the James Brown you can. A strong "one" nails the beat square to the floor, it's up to you and your creativity to fill in the rest.

The wbc just needs a hug and alot of Sabbath.

Booker T & The MG's "Melting Pot" This is their most original album, very dynamic, and showcases the MG's (Cropper included) versatility, and lock tight grip on rhythm. The Motown/Stax legacies....something to be said about the "house band" era, no doubt. "Melting Pot" seems to bridge...

Are there any manufacturers of cases, that will actually fit a T-bird? And or is it easy/wise to refit one that is long enough, yet doesn't have bird shape?

RJH.....yeah. There's a really cool video with him and Johnny only, playing low volume on you tube playing Rock and roll Hoochie Koo with a Dan Armstrong. Unsung hero for sure.

Motorhead in "85 on their 10th anniversary tour in Denver, Co (Rainbow Music Hall), just prior to Orgasmatron coming out. L-O-U-D. Lemmy is larger than life no doubt, but shorter than I expected. Suicidal Tendencies on their first tour '83 (an orange El Camino with a u-haul), with original...

I don't get any buzz if I use the on-board effects, any effect pedal (guitar or bass) will buzz especially when I take my fingers off the strings. I have changed cables to no avail. I imagine the hard drive has something to do with it, I've had pedals in another room and still does it. It's...

I get signal interference (buzzing) when I record into my BR1200 with any sort of effect pedal plugged in. Would a noise suppressor take care of this, or shielding my instruments?

There was a green Big Al for sale on Craigslist in Salem, Oregon a month back
